It's cute and I certainly see the amusement value. But it does seem to reduce the usefulness of charming someone. Except in the rare cases when he can take the rest of the army, you don't actually get the commander.

And, for any newbies thinking about trying this, 1PD stops the commander from actually taking the province. This part of the tactic really only works against indies. And most of us have cleared indies by the time we have Black Hearts, Charm or Hellbind Heart.
